  • Pope Addresses Vatican Reforms Aimed at Curbing Corruption, Abuse
    Pope addresses Vatican reforms aimed at curbing corruption, abuse VATICAN CITY (CNS) — While financial reforms in the Vatican are progressing steadily, cases involving corruption and malfeasance in the Eternal City are “a disease that we relapse into,” Pope Francis said. In a wide-ranging interview broadcast Sept. 1 by COPE, the Spanish radio station owned by the Spanish bishops’ conference, Pope Francis said changes made in the Vatican’s financial laws have allowed prosecutors to “become more independent” in their investigations. “Let’s hope that these steps we are taking … will help to make these events happen less and less,” he said. During the interview, the pope was asked about the Vatican trial against 10 individuals and entities, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu, former prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, on charges ranging from embezzlement to money laundering and abuse of office. The charges stemmed from a Vatican investigation into how the Secretariat of State used $200 million to finance a property development project in London’s posh Chelsea district and incurred millions of dollars in debt. At the time, then- Archbishop Becciu served as “sostituto,” the No. 3 position in the Vatican Secretariat of State. Cardinal Becciu was forced to offer his resignation to the pope in September 2020, after he was accused of embezzling an estimated 100,000 euros of Vatican funds and redirecting them to Spes, a Caritas organization run by his brother, Tonino Becciu, in his home Diocese of Ozieri, Sardinia. The pope told COPE he authorized the Vatican’s investigation into the property deal as a sign that he was “not afraid of transparency or the truth.” “Sometimes it hurts a lot, but the truth is what sets us free,” he said.

  • Deconsecration Rites of Roman Catholic Church Buildings
    religions Article Ritual Void or Ritual Muddle? Deconsecration Rites of Roman Catholic Church Buildings Kim de Wildt Transformation of Sacred Space: Function and Use of Religious Places in Germany (FOR 2733), University of Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany; [email protected] Received: 29 August 2020; Accepted: 6 October 2020; Published: 10 October 2020 Abstract: The decrease in people who regularly celebrate liturgy in western Europe has led to the question of what to do with so-called obsolete church buildings. This question not only refers to whether or not a church building will be converted, reused or demolished, but also to the question of whether or not such a building needs to be deconsecrated, and if so, what does deconsecration of a church building actually entail? In this contribution, I will consider the role deconsecration rites play in the Roman Catholic church when a church building is taken out of liturgical use. In Roman Catholic liturgy, there are no prescribed, official deconsecration rites that are mandatory for a church building that is to be taken out of liturgical use. The actual deconsecration of a church building is, according to canon law, established by a decree that is issued by the responsible diocesan bishop. In the case of a church being taken out of liturgical use, however, there seems to be a shift from having a ritual void with regard to deconsecration rites, and also a focus on the “legitimate” way (in the sense of canon law) to deconsecrate a church building (object orientation), towards, in recent decades, paying more attention to a growing pastoral need (subject orientation) for deconsecration rites.

  • The Cardinal's Wardrobe
    Chapter 32 The Cardinal’s Wardrobe Carol M. Richardson By the end of the 17th century, the papal master of ceremonies, Francesco Sestini da Bibbiena, could report that cardinals’ dress consisted of the sou- tane (a long, sleeved cassock, buttoned down the front), rochet (a linen over- garment or surplice), manteletta (short shoulder cape worn only in Rome), mozzetta (short cape usually buttoned in front) and cappa magna (voluminous cloak with a hood). The hat was always red, whereas the cassock and cloak could be in one of three qualities of the colour: pavonazzo (peacock-coloured), rosso (red) or rose secche (old rose), depending on the occasion.1 Although red is the colour worn by cardinals, it is not the cardinals’ colour but the popes’. The colour is significant precisely because it binds the pope and his cardinals, as head and members of the papal body: “in capite et in mem- bris” (see also Barbara Bombi’s chapter in this volume).2 William Durandus explained in his Rationale of 1286: the Sovereign Pontiff always appears dressed with a red cape on the out- side while underneath it he is dressed with white vestments; for within, he ought to shine through innocence and charity; and on the outside, he ought to be red through compassion, so that he might show himself to be always ready to lay down his life for his sheep; for he stands in the place of Him who made red His garments for all the sheep in the world.3 Papal garb seems to have been established relatively early on, though its first formal record is in the late 13th-century ordo, or ceremonial book, of Gregory x.4 How the cardinals’ costume evolved was a long, often contentious process, that 1 Francesco Sestini, Il moderno maestro di camera (Rome: 1697), 9–10.

  • Guidelines for Eucharistic Processions
    Guidelines for Eucharistic Processions Pope Paul VI writes of special forms of worship of the Eucharist, “The Catholic Church has always displayed and still displays this latria that ought to be paid to the Sacrament of the Eucharist, both during Mass and outside of it, by taking the greatest possible care of consecrated hosts, by exposing them to the solemn veneration of the faithful, and by carrying them about in processions to the joy of great numbers of the people.”1 May our processions also bring joy to all who participate! This is not an unfounded joy, but one founded on the knowledge that Christ comes to us, to be among us, to make is dwelling in our midst, to teach us, and lead us to the Father. The following are helpful guidelines for preparing a Eucharistic Procession according to the norms of the Church. 1. The source texts for Eucharistic Processions is Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass (HCWEOM), #’s 101-108 and Ceremonial of Bishops #’s 385-394. 2. The following are the things that should be prepared for the procession in addition to what is needed for the Mass: a. A host to be used in the monstrance b. Monstrance c. Humeral Veil d. [Second Thurible] e. Candles for the procession f. [Canopy] 3. A day of especial importance for Eucharistic devotion, and thus also for processions, is the Feast of Corpus Christi. While processions may be done on other days, it is for the local ordinary to determine these other times (cf. HCWEOM 101-102) 4.

An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a religious service. An altar server attends to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing bells, setting up, cleaning up, and so on. Until 1983, only young men whom the Church sometimes hoped to recruit for the priesthood and seminarians could serve at the altar, and thus altar boy was the usual term until Canon 230 was changed in the 1983 update to the Code of Canon which provided the option for local ordinaries (bishops) to permit females to serve at the altar. The term altar server is now widely used and accepted. When altar servers were only young men and seminarians the term acolyte was used. An acolyte is one of the instituted orders which is installed by a bishop. The title of acolyte is still only given to men as it is historically a minor order of ordained ministry. This term is now usually reserved for the ministry that all who are to be promoted to the diaconate receives at least six months before being ordained a deacon (c.
